ISLAMABAD: In a recent development, the Islamabad administration has announced Eid holidays for all educational institutions in the Federal Capital

According to a notification issued by the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE), Islamabad schools have announced the Eid and Spring holidays. Which will be observed from 31-03-2025 to 4-04-25 in all the schools run under the FDE.

Educational activities in the Islamabad schools will resume on April 7 after the Eid holidays, according to the notification.

Eidul Fitr is expected to be observed across Pakistan on Monday, March 31, 2025, following the completion of 29 days of Ramadan.

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, along with zonal committees are set to convene on Sunday evening, March 30, 2025 (corresponding to Ramazan 29, 1446 AH), to sight the Shawwal moon.

Religious scholars, meteorologists, and officials will meet at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony in Islamabad to review moon sighting reports from all of Pakistan.

The sighting of the new moon defines the lunar months of the Islamic calendar, including Ramadan, Eid, and Muharram.

The Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) uses scientific methods, astronomical calculations, and advanced technology to forecast the appearance of the Ramadan and Shawwal crescents.

Astronomically, the Shawwal moon is likely to be visible on March 30, suggesting that Eid ul Fitr will most certainly fall on March 31, 2025.
